<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAt the initial cosmetic consultation, we\ndiscuss what alterations you wish to make and we will carry out a direct mock\nup on your teeth to show you what the new shapes would look like. This is a\ngreat way to have a sneak peek of what the final result would look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the bonding appointment we carefully handcraft and layer the composite to mimic the shapes and textures of your natural teeth as closely as possible. Bonding is a pain free treatment and we don\u2019t need any anesthetic or injections to carry this out. Because the process involves a high level of technique for a natural shape and finish, it’s best to work with a dentist who has a lot experience in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Aftercare is Needed?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Composite bonding requires maintenance so you’ll need to see your dentist for regular check-ups and hygienist visits. The surface may need re-polishing to maintain the lustre and shine and like natural teeth can be prone to chipping and staining. It is OK to eat normal food such as apples, but you should avoid using teeth as tools to open packets or biting fingernails as this will cause additional wear and chipping to the bonding and natural teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re interested in achieving a brighter\nsmile, composite resin bonding is a great option. Be sure to take care of your\nother oral necessities first, to ensure your natural smile is healthy inside\nand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Long does composite\nbonding last for?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
It generally lasts for 5-7 years before it needs to be replaced. For people who grind their teeth or have bad habits like biting fingernails and chewing pens, it will have a shorter lifespan. Composite bonding is easy to repair if it chips and straightforward to replace when it comes to the end of its lifespan. For a longer lasting alternative, non-invasive porcelain veneers <\/a>are a great option if you are suitable.
